4 When a great multitude came together and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable:
And when a great multitude had assembled, and they were coming to him from every city, he spoke by a parable:
5 “The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
The sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air ate it up.
6 Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
And some fell upon the rock; and when it had sprung up, it withered, because it had no moisture.
7 Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
And some fell in the midst of thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.
8 Other fell into the good ground and grew and produced one hundred times as much fruit.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
And other seed fell into good ground, and sprung up, and produced fruit a hundred-fold. When he had said these things, he cried: He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
And the disciples asked him, saying: What does this parable mean?
10 He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
He replied: To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that when they see, they may not see, and when they hear, they may not understand.
11 “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
But the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the word of God;
12 Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
those by the wayside are they that hear; then comes the devil and takes the word from their heart, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
Those on the rock are they that, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who, for awhile, believe, and in time of temptation apostatize.
14 What fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life; and they bring no fruit to maturity.
That which fell among thorns are those who hear, and so conduct themselves, that they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.
But that on the good ground are those who, in a good and honest heart, hear the word, and keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
No one when he has lighted a lamp, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a divan, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who come in may see the light.
17 For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
For there is nothing concealed, that shall not be made manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known and brought into view.
18 Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”
Take heed, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, even that which he seems to have shall be taken from him.
19 His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.

21 But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”

22 Now on one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
And it came to pass, on a certain day, that he entered a ship with his disciples; and he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they set sail.

And while they were sailing, he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down upon the lake, and they began to be filled, and were in danger.

And Jesus said: Who touched me? When they all denied, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes press upon thee, and throng thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?
